I have been known to breathe in (and occasionally out again), without thinking about spaceships.

Just fucking make #Farage answer questions under oath, which you should have done months ago. He will perjure himself within minutes and we can have done with him.

I last watched Stargate Universe when it came out, and absolutely hated it. Rewatching it now, I'm actually really getting into it. There's a few characters who just plain shouldn't be here and some of it needs toning down, but there's some excellent concepts and character work here.

And they wonder why their voters have deserted them. Burn the Labour party down and salt the earth. There is nothing to be salvaged here.

theguardian.comHome Office sends letters to children as young as five saying they must leave UKChildren of those on care worker visas, who came legally before rule change, told to leave even if parents can stay Children as young as five who are living legally in the UK are being told by the Home Office they must leave the country even if their parents have been given permission to remain.

A sixth letter has been sent to a woman who is six months pregnant and lives in the UK with her husband, telling her she must leave him and return to her country.

Yes. Such an opportunity. Let's bet everything on this. Who needs a water supply, energy grid or livable planet anyway?

Oh christ, I am in the pub and a group of students next to me are talking about Doctor Who. One of them just said "obviously the Sarah Jane Adventures was the way into it for the older generation". Excuse me while I crumble into dust.

I forgot how much of the movie is just anthropology. We watch Jackson figure out the culture, customs, language & history for almost the entire movie before Ra and his baby bodyguards turn up. I always figured Ra's "true form" was retconned into an Unas. Why do we never see those beasties again?

God I didn't think FIFA would actually do a ceremony for this ridiculous shit 🤣 Can't wait for him to be given the McDonalds Peace Prize next week, and the Mickey Mouse Peace Prize after that. Surely even his brain can't be pudding enough not to realise this is fucking ridiculous?

Look, giving Palantir a squillion pounds to build a database that doesn't work but does steal all of our data is just sensible. Even though they'll lose to the obvious "bin the ID cards" campaign in 2029 and it disappears, we can all agree that it's a better use of money than trains and houses 🙄

It does feel a bit Labour: ID cards? Press: No Labour: ID cards? Press: No. No way Labour: ID cards but... we make them a bit racist? Press: ... Labour: It will harm Deliveroo bikers in particular? Press: You son of a bitch. I'm in!

"Instead of donating my time and money to local charities, I'm going to spend infinite money on flags that'll end up in the bin and every night this week climbing up traffic lights after eight cans. That'll definitely feed homeless veterans and get rid of the needles in the park." Fucking clowns.

Did the entire television industry lose the ability to put advert breaks in sensible places the very second the internet got involved? Trying to watch #Snowpiercer on #ITVX is absolutely maddening.

If Thames Water can't keep itself in credit operating a vital utility as a monopoly, its management are the least competent people on the face of the earth and should be barred from ever holding a decision-making position ever again. Empty their bank accounts before they get a penny of our money.
